So when Holiday World wanted to build a launched wing-rider, Intamin must have been their only option because Furious Baco? Intamin and other manufacturers are perfectly capable of innovating and adapting for their clients needs.

That's not an interpretation... A cobra roll is only called as such because of the way the element looks. If you wanted to break it down you could choose to see it as an Immelmann loop into a dive loop or something. It's still 2 inversions either way.

Really bizarre scepticism... 'Only two rides, only $500 million of investment jeez not good enough!'.
I doubt there was much demand for a Cars Land before it happened either and that's universally lauded as one of the best theme park areas in the world.
